Java Crypto Catchup

In 2017, we started a blog series talking about how to securely implement a crypto-system in java. How to Get Started Using Java Cryptography Securely touches upon the basics of Java crypto, followed by posts around various crypto primitives Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (CSPRNG), Encryption/Decryption, and Message Digests. We also released a Java Crypto Module for easier dockerization of injectable modules exposing Crypto services via an API.

In the Financial Services Industry, 74% of Apps Have Security Flaws

Over the past year, the financial services industry has been challenged with pivoting its operations to a fully digital model, putting the security of its software center stage. Despite the unanticipated pivot, our recent State of Software Security v11 (SOSS) report found that the financial services industry has the smallest proportion of applications with security flaws compared to other sectors, along with the second-lowest prevalence of severe security flaws, and the best security flaw fix rate.

Veracode State of Software Security Vol. 11

Veracode, the largest global provider of application security testing (AST) solutions, announced the State of Software Security (SOSS) Volume 11 revealing 76% of applications contain at least one security flaw and fixing those flaws typically takes months. This year’s analysis of 130,000 applications found that it takes about six months for teams to close half the security flaws they find. Watch as Veracode's Chris Eng and Tim Jarrett break down the key findings from SOSS 11, with specifics on what's within developers' control as they seek to improve the security of their applications.

Announcing the 11th Volume of Our State of Software Security Report

Today, we released the 11th volume of our annual State of Software Security (SOSS) report. This report, based on our scan results, always offers an abundance of insights and information about software vulnerabilities – what they are, what’s causing them, and how to address them most effectively. This year is no different. With last year’s SOSS Volume 10, we spent some time looking at how much things had changed in the decade spanning Volume 1 to Volume 10.
